He said it and did it. THE Donald Trumpin a new power demonstration, applies the hard -mounted anti -immigration policy that has promised as the US Tax Service (IRS) reached an agreement with the service migrationin order to provide her with sensitive taxpayer information, which may lead to the detection and expulsion of irregular migrants.
This agreement is a victory for the government of US President Donald Trump, which has adopted a particularly harsh policy over immigration after the Republican’s return to the White House.
IRS allows millions of immigrants residing without paper in the US to pay taxes, as they themselves consider that in this way they reinforce their position in case who seek to receive a residence permit in the country, while boosting the federal budget.
This service has elements such as address, revenue and marital status Taxpayers, who are strictly protected by federal legislation.
However, under the agreement signed on Monday (07.04.25), according to court documents, the Federal Immigration Agency (ICE) may request IRS information on persons who are investigating or already ordered by the US.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, which is subject to ICE, can “request legal information on persons who are pending criminal investigation and the IRS must give it”, the court documents said.
Meanwhile the Washington Post newspaper revealed yesterday Tuesday that IRS Transition Manager Melanie Kraus decided to resign.
Following a question from the AFP, the US Treasury was limited to confirming Kraus’s departure. “Melani Kraus led the IRS during an excellent period of change. We wish her good luck in her next steps, “a spokesman for the ministry commented.
Kraus was the third director of the IRS after Trump’s return to the White House.
According to US media, organizations of the rights of immigrants have appealed to justice in March with the aim of preventing IRS from giving ICE sensitive information. The court documents presented by the US government in the context of this case brought to light the agreement between the two services.
“If the agreement remains in force, it will provide a roadmap to the federal order conservation forces to have access to confidential information without before being a court ruling,” Nantan Josie of the Public Citizen Union reacted.
